While in Akiba Asobit Game store yesterday I came across the "Onani" [オナに] goods section. The word "Onani" means "self health care" and I think (please somebody correct me if wrong) that "Onani" has the same meaning in German and Korean. There is a flier in the photo that promoted "a pleasurable Onani life" - 10% discount. I know that many of you pick up doujin stuff while in Akiba but do you/will you pick up some of these?

What exactly is self health care? Cause Im getting pretty curious seeing some of the stuff on the bottom, especially towards the left.

Self health care is what you would do to yourself while looking at the "stuff on the bottom". (I.E. masturbate).

My ex girlfriend had never heard the term "dolphin" before, so I had to explain to her that waxing wasn't really in Sea World's dolphin care manual...

In french, you can also use the word "onanisme", with the same meaning. But according to wikipedia, it comes from an english medical book refering to a old testament story...

Onani refers to Onanism, which is another term for masturbation. The word is attributed to Onan, the son of Judah who was instructed to compulate with Tamar, Judah's daughter-in-law, so that she may have an heir. However just as he was about to ejaculate, he pulled out and spilt his semen on the ground because he wasn't quite ready to be a daddy yet. So God was pissed off at him and smite him to death. While opponents of masturbation often used this as an example that masturbation is a sin, one must note that God didn't punish Onan for jerking off. Rather, it was because Onan went against God's word for not wanting to impregnate Tamar.

On the subject of whether I'll pick one up...I heard from a friend that most of this are single-usage only and they're pretty pricey. Not exactly worth the money, so I'm gonna give them a pass when I go down to Akiba. Still, that's not going to stop me from browsing through them. ^^;
(ID #259228) Posted on 2008/08/07 15:04
The Tenga ones are disposable single-use ones, but as a result, they manage to sell them at a pretty reasonable price, Amazon Japan sells them for just under 1000yen. I'll admit to having bought a couple of models out of curiosity, and they're just as good as the re-usable ones. Reusable health care material is more expensive, and you do have to put up with proper washing, which can be, not to be too delicate, icky...
(ID #259565) Posted on 2008/08/08 00:14
I would probably pick one up. But wouldn't it ruin your first time if it feels just like or better then the real thing..., O_o
(ID #259254) Posted on 2008/08/07 15:49
Hmm... you never see any of this being sold from where I'm from.. lol >_< unless I don't know where they sell them..

It's not same meaning in Korean. There is slang term for it called 'Thal-thal-ee' -_- Can't believe Asobit stock these kind of items now. Never picked up these items and probably never will. Just good ol' ero doujinshi/manga/art books will suffice ^^;
(ID #259354) Posted on 2008/08/07 18:14

Japanese culture does not have the psychological baggage surrounding sexuality that the West developed from the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Consequently they see sexuality as a normal part of life, not as inherently shameful and sinful.
(ID #259393) Posted on 2008/08/07 19:22
Onani has the same meaning in Sweden as well :P (As heard in this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qh6UPp6m4I ) (Apparently that song is popular in Japan as well because they can hear a lot of funny stuff in there ^^)
(ID #259399) Posted on 2008/08/07 19:35
The nade Onani came from "onanism", is the act of finish sex with masturbation This come from the bible, from Onan, a man who married his dead brother wife, in order to protect her. The law of the zone obligated him to have sex with the woman, but he dont want to have children, to not share his father heredity. He finished the act always outside masturbating himself. So thats the story
